COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA (1910 - )
| Legend | COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA |

|
On 1 January 1901, federation of the Australian colonies was achieved after a decade of planning, consultation and voting. This established the Commonwealth of Australia as a dominion of the British Empire. The new country introduced its own currency in 1910. In keeping with tradition, this coinage showed the legend of the (British) monarch on the obverse. The first bronze coinage though showed this legend on the reverse (from 1911 to 1939) and is thus known as the "COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA" types of penny/halfpenny. The silver coins did not display it. | |
